New Weapon Quality: Inoculating

If a bladed weapon can inject poison, why not other useful liquids?

This post already appeared for patrons only on my Patreon page. If you wish to see stuff in advance and have access to other rewards, please consider donating!


Inoculating

Aura moderate transmutation CL 5th

Price +1 bonus; Weight

An inoculating weapon is similar to an injecting weapon, except that it can hold up one dose only of an elixir, infused extract, injury poison, or potion. As a swift action, the wielder of an inoculating weapon can inject the stored liquid in a creature’s body after a successful hit. The substance takes effect immediately, despite any onset period, and the target receives the normal saving throw (if any) against the substance. In the case of a personal infused extract, the opponent receives both a Fortitude save and spell resistance. Only bladed weapons can be made into inoculating weapons. Filling or refilling the weapon’s reservoir is a full-round action.

Construction

Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, touch injection; Price
